Power Transformers

Highly efficient solutions for large-scale power generation and transmission system.

Our Core and Shell type power transformers have an outstanding track record of performance, reliability and resilience, making them essential products for the networks of the future, that will require more flexibility, dynamic loading and maintenance, enhanced sustainability and real time monitoring.

Efacec’s Shell Power Transformers Technology adds unique features due to its design flexibility, modularity, and dissociated phase configurations as a solution for challenging transport scenarios.

Mobile & Portable Solutions

Optimised mobility ready to improve grid resilience.

Our solutions provide a fast and reliable alternative to traditional power transformers or substations, allowing for quick recovery during energy interruption on the distribution and transmission grids.

Designed for flexibility, the modular equipment can be installed on a single or on multiple trailers, ensuring efficient deployment tailored to your needs.

We have more than 200 units, deployed worldwide, in Core and Shell technology with up to 90 MVA and 245 kV.
